Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)

The Suffolk County Consortium continues to work with non-profit agencies in the provision of homeless housing and supportive services to implement programs that address the need for emergency shelters. The Emergency Solutions Grant allows the County to provide direct funding to non-profit organizations to assist with the operation of emergency shelters.

In addition to shelter funding, and in order to prevent families and individuals from becoming homeless in the first place, the Suffolk County Community Development Office utilizes Emergency Solutions Grant funds to assist with a homeless prevention program.
